It took him a few years to find his place as he was nagged by injures in his first 3 years.
But upon getting healthy he took off posting 3 consecutive seasons of 24 or more homers with a .300 plus batting average (2019: 34 HR, .319 BA).
Before we talk about his pending regression (in our opinion) let’s take a look at his top rookie cards and a checklist…

OK, Why We Are Selling Anthony Rendon Rookie Cards
We feel a major regression is come in fast and hard for Mr. Rendon.
He is a nice guy and seems like a good teammate in the clubhouse but we can’t help but feel his numbers will have a sharp decrease from last year (resulting in a fall in his RC values).
He is going to be 30 in June and we foresee his numbers slipping each year in Anaheim (think Albert Pujols here).
We’re not saying his numbers are going to be horrible but nowhere close to what he put up in 2019.
If you have any of his rookie cards we would sell most of them a week or so before the season starts (or during the first few weeks)… especially high-end cards should absolutely be sold in the early MLB season.
Now we could be wrong and will own up to it if we are… but we feel we are not 🙂
STRONG SELL and HARD PASS
